This video was made my Tracey Tutt. She entered this video into the ASU1 module of my NUA MA in Moving Image and Sound category in a competition. The title of the video is Just One More Place to Look. The film was very simple. Through the use of narration and a simple point of focus, it was easy to follow but also very in depth, with the words. I also chose this video because, the rotoscoped image of the hooded man is the main focus, the background is blurred. This effect is used a lot in experimental video. The whole, dark and dingy vibe given throughout the video also made it more experimental. Although short, the narration in the background adds a lot more to it. I thought the video was simple, but the message was clear. I would like to incorporate that aspect into my video as well.
This short film was directed by Chucheep Chaipoon. The title of this video is Identities. The message behind the video was very powerful, and it was portrayed very well through the scenes. The use of rotoscoping was very smart and well done as well. The rotoscoping parts were used when the boy's identity was taken away through the masks he put on. So the almost fake reality of what he became was in the rotoscoped sections. The transitions between original to rotoscope and vice versa was also really good. This video was also experimental because the use of brightness effects and soundtrack was well layered, and although there wasn't much too it, the overall vibes of the film was experimental. In my video I want it to be as clean and well done, in the transitions and overall radioscoping, as it was done in this one. The craftsmanship is what I want incorporate.
This video is called Thought of You, by Ryan Woodward, a professional animator. It was all rotoscoped, so the amount of experimental-esc qualities were minimal. But, the message in both this video and experimental ones, are one of the key factors in making it part of the experimental video category. The message was deep, and was relatable to everyone. The video could be taken in multiple different way, depending on how you view it. The effects of the video were also cool in the way you could feel the difference between night and day, weight and weightless, and so on. The overall video was really powerful, this was the main reason I chose it. Along with the exceptional craftsmanship, the video is simple, yet so amazing. It's an animation, but with the incorporation of video and dancers. The simpleness and the take-it-whatever-way-you-want-to aspect is what caught my eye. This is what I would like to incorporate in my film as well.
My Video
My idea for this video is it focus on one person, but never show their face. I want to show their emotion, whether it's anger, frustration, or sadness, through rotoscoping. My sequence for this video will be one of the emotions that will be incorporated in the longer version. I also want it to be relatable to all people, not just a certain group. Although the details are no where near final or even clear at the moment, this is my overall idea.
When looking at it, over half of the video will have a rotoscoped section in it. Although the entire frame won't be rotoscoped, like the background or other objects, around 60% of the video will have a rotoscoped image in it. I'm thinking about using simple lines, and maybe just the outline. I want the person to be very simple, but the actions they take make them more in depth in emotion rather than appearance.
The experimental part of the video will be shown through the soundtrack and the effects in brightness and color. The layering of effects will hopefully make it more experimental than just a regular short film.
Since this sequence only shows one emotion, the fuller movie will probably show more than just one. The full movie will also have more of a background, so it's more of a movie than just one sequence.
This sequence is good to use rotoscoping, because from the examples, many people use rotoscoped images to show emotion, which is my main focus. Plus, the simplicity of the rotoscoped parts with the addition of the actions and soundtrack, I'm hoping the simpleness will have lots of depth in it, without the use of too many effects and drastic changes in image.
